w5, monday

[aitou]

[In the dojo!! It's not unusual to find Yasusada in here, but he looks a little surprised to see Roxana; he lowers his practice sword once he spots her, trotting up to say hello.]

Are you feeling better?

[disingenuous]

I am.

[ She seems as healthy as she usually is, walking fine, graceful as ever. ]

Thank you. [ She gestures at his practice sword. ] I wanted to see if I could learn something from you.

[aitou]

[Oh--well, in that case he lights up immediately!!]

Sure, of course! [He is always happy to share his knowledge!!!] Do you already know what you want to do?

[disingenuous]

I had Kiyomitsu show me the basics a while ago. Do you and he have similar styles?

[ She knows they were both swords used by Okita, but... she doesn't know if that correlates. ]

[aitou]

[The question makes him laugh, though not unkindly.]

You could say that! Sparring with him is like swinging a sword in front of a mirror.

[disingenuous]

I'd like to see you two spar someday.

[ She thinks it'd be beautiful to watch. ]

[aitou]

Really? [He seems a little surprised, mostly because no one's said that to him before.] I'm not sure how interesting it would be, but I wouldn't mind.

[He doubts Kashuu would either!]

[disingenuous]

Why wouldn't it be? You two in your natural element would be a treat to watch.

[aitou]

We just haven't really sparred for anyone besides the other swords, or the people here for practice. I was a little surprised, but I can ask him about it, unless you want to.

[disingenuous]

You can. I feel like you two wouldn't hold back against each other.

[aitou]

We don't! [Hehe.] Well, maybe a little, while we're completely stuck in these bodies.

[disingenuous]

[ so free about talking how brutal you are to each other... well, it's not like roxana minds. ]

Is it alright that you don't have your blade back yet?

[ unless i somehow missed this. ]

[aitou]

[(roxana voice) sometimes attempted murder is attractive

You did not miss it, though. Yasusada's smile--doesn't fade, but it shifts into something a little softer, with a touch of sadness.]

...It doesn't feel right to say "yes", you know? It's hard, not having it here. But... I was able to keep Kiyomitsu safe for a little while instead, and I don't regret that.

[disingenuous]

[ yeah, but kindness is the most attractive quality to her (shhhh)

looks at how last week ended and closes my eyes ]

You weighed one thing over another, and while having both would be nice, you chose him. Your heart is lovely, Yasusada.
